Pipit in Germany--Gärtringen (1 Viewer)

[Tom St]

Hello,
I have a flight shot of a pipit taken by a birding buddy of mine. The pipit was calling when it flew over (see attached recording, bad quality). We narrowed it down to Water or Meadow Pipit. Both species should occur in that area.
Photos taken 3rd December 2023 in Gärtringen, Germany.
Thanks for your help!
Tom

I think the white outer tail feathers make this a Water Pipit.

Water Pipit (by sound, visually I would not be able to put a name on it confidentially)
